My dogs, and other dogs, have the run of our home. There are multiple dog beds, the furniture is free game, and they have a small backyard to run in some. Dog sitting is not something I take on unless the animal is already established with my group. I will be home twenty four hours a day if there is another animal staying with us. At the dog park, I bring a Chuck It with multiple balls, a flirt stick (amazing toy), water, and a whistle. I keep any dogs with me away from the gate when other dogs are entering or exiting (including my own); as it is a proven factor leading to the majority of dog park fights. Moxee and Myrtle are trained to sit next to us when a new dog arrives until they are released. As I've been frequenting our local dog parks nearly daily for years, I know the majority of the regulars who frequent them as well. Myself and a few others play a pivotal role in keeping the Independence Dog Park clean.

Depending on the socialization level of your dog, we will go to Monmouth or Independence Dog Parks. Monmouth has very few dogs, and with two separate sides they can be with just my two if you prefer. If and when we are both comfortable, we can also go to Independence Dog Park (flooding risk permitting) or even Minto Brown if they are off leash trained. If you would like some pictures, by all means ask! If you share them on social media and it leads to more business for me I will gladly give you a discount on a dog park trip or two. We will be at the dog park for at least forty five minutes, and depending on my time frame that day of the week we can discuss longer trips. This is my break from studying, so I play with my dogs a lot and burn off all of our energy. If they have some kind of other toy they prefer to play with, please let me know. A tired dog is a happy dog, and that is always my goal when we go to the dog park!
